Safety precaution
Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport Infortrend storage systems and
expansion systems.
Installation and operation
•
Set up the EonStor GSe Pro system at a site where the ambient temperature stays lower than
40°C.
•
Install the power source socket outlet near the enclosure where it is easily accessible.
•
Secure airflow clearance inside and around the enclosure:
• Secure an 18 to 20 cm clearance around the enclosure.
• Do not cover the enclosure openings.
• Do not leave drive bays empty as it will affect airflow efficiency.
•
DO NOT remove more than one hard drive tray out of the enclosure at the same time.
•
Secure each hard drive using its retention screws.
•
Place power cords and other cables away from foot traffic. Do not place items on top of power
cords and ensure they do not rest against the data cables.
•
Install all modules to the enclosure before turning on the systems.
•
Ensure that the correct power range is tested before turning on the system.
•
If the system is not used for a long period, disconnect it from the power outlet to avoid transient
over-voltage.
Service and maintenance
•
Keep the faulty hard drive in place until you have a replacement in hand. Removing a drive tray
from the enclosure affects the airflow.
•
When transporting the enclosure, repackage all disk drives separately in the original package foam
blocks.
•
Disconnect the power cords before servicing or cleaning the enclosure.
•
Use a slightly moistened paper sheet or cloth to clean the system. Avoid using liquid agents or
detergent sprays.
•
When replacing hard drives, gently insert the hard drive tray while the system is operating.
Vibration or shock can easily damage the hard drives.
•
Contact your service/support personnel if any of the following occurs:
• Power cord or plug is damaged
• Enclosure has been exposed to moisture
• The system is not working properly
• Dropped the system against a hard surface
• The enclosure shows obvious breaks and leaks
•
Remove the hard drives first before moving the enclosure to another location. Remember the
installation steps of the hard drives and their corresponding slots.
